High praise from Billy.  Not sure that still applies without Hargrave but obviously that will depend on Carter's development. 

Seemed kind of generic to me. All HCs praise the team they're about to play against

Here’s one to ponder:

GM for 1 season, average team. Need to make the playoffs to keep your job. 
 

Do you sign Eli Manning or Troy Aikman? 
 

I’ve seen Eli Manning do things that I’ve never seen Troy Aikman do. Conversely, I’ve seen Aikman win a lot of crucial games throwing for 150 yards with his HoF roster. Not saying Aikman was bad by any means, but don’t think he’s the slam dunk answer.

I lived in Dallas from 1989 through 1996, so I got a full dose of Aikman.  I felt then and still feel now that the MVP of that team was Emmitt Smith ... and it wasn't even closed.  However, thanks to what I have seen from Jeff Stoutland and the O-Lines he has put on the field here, I've elevated that Dallas O-Line up the MVP ladder.

With that said, it is just so hard to like Eli.

Define "great" OL depth.

1 hour ago, Iggles_Phan said:

Simple answer... Lose 2 players on the OL and not miss a beat offensively.   Good OL Depth would be to lose 1 OL and not miss a beat offensively.   Decent OL depth would be to lose a player and manage to function properly offensively, but with considerable changes to the game plan.  Bad OL depth is where 1 loss along the OL turns your offense into a stagnant and predictable quagmire.

It is interesting to put Iggles_Phan's two comments above together.  Logically the question "Define a "great" head coach" comes to the fore.  Although there are lots of other factors the answer could well be "Lose 2 coordinators, and not miss a beat offensively and/or defensively.".

Yeah... that sounds about right.  We'll find out this year, I suppose.   Cardinals will be fun to keep an eye on from a distance (not going to waste much time actually watching their games though).   Eagles have 2 new coordinators, so a lot will fall on Sirianni in terms of the ability to maintain what had already been established in terms of culture, while also allowing the new guys to be themselves.   The play calling piece to me will be very interesting. Johnson has never called plays at the NFL level.  We'll see what he can do soon enough.  I just hope that he starts to massively rein in the number of designed QB runs.

It's trolling to say that someone who couldn't appreciate Devon Givens and his approach to sports talk radio instead prefers the morning zoo hot take obsessed clown radio that fills up the airwaves?

When I ordered my Kelce Kelly Green the day after the initial rush, it originally told me I wouldn't be getting it until September 15th. It wound up showing up a month earlier than that. You'll get an order confirm with a tracking link. The date will change in there a couple of times, and get shorter and shorter. That's my experience with mine and also my son's DeVonta.

I just checked mine and it says it will be in on November 7th.  😞

As soon as they restock, the date will change. Just keep checking that order status link.

I'm sure he would know - guessing he has hours and hours of this summer's practice footage by now.

I know the story is 'tank for Caleb', but If your'e the Cards, why in the world would you go QB at #1 overall?  They signed Kyler Murray to a huge contract and it would be an enormous cap hit to release him.  (And let's be honest... nobody is going to trade for him). 

Even if Caleb is great, I would take Kyler and the trade of 3-4 first rounders from a bad team that’ll start the rookie QB
